Who Thrives in a Recession? Hint: It’s Not Who You Think.

So, who really thrives when the economy takes a nosedive? You might be surprised: first-generation immigrants.

And who’s struggling? Upper middle-class folks—especially those who grew up with comfort and luxury.

The Reality for the Ultra-Rich & First-Gen Immigrants

If you’re super rich, you’ll be just fine. You can weather the storm. The same goes for first-gen immigrants. If you grew up with frijoles, arroz, and sopa, you’re probably used to making do with less. Your mindset isn’t tied to wasteful spending, and you know how to hustle.

Who Needs to Listen?

So, what’s the smart move? Gen X, millennials, immigrants, and people who’ve grown up poor—those are the ones who’ve got the survival skills in tough times. They’re the new influencers, and if you’re looking for practical advice on navigating these uncertain times, those are the voices to listen to.

Waste Not, Want Not

Not saying a recession is definitely coming, but being wasteful in times like these is just plain dumb. Adapt, learn how to stretch your dollars, and keep your spending in check—because in uncertain times, it’s the ones who know how to survive who come out ahead.
